There were no Prothean ruins on Mars

Have you ever wondered what would have become of Shepard if there weren't any Prothean ruins on Mars? Everything would have been different. The whole technology we know from the game wouldn't exist. So I worked for weeks on Shepards alternative appearance for that scenario. I added many details (but you can't see most of them in that shot), created badges, evolved the story of Mass Effect in a different way and after several outputs I had this Shepard on my screen. No mass-tech, no kinetic barriers nor any other fancy stuff.
